Bringing History Back to The Table

Welcome to The Happy Homemaker about me page! This is where I will tell you about myself. My name’s Nicole, and my love for cooking started in the kitchen with my nana and grandma. I loved watching them in the kitchen and I admired their way of cooking. Their kitchens were filled with warmth, simple ingredients, and meals made from scratch with love and hard working hands.

When I was a young girl I found a love for making food. When I got older I turned to old cookbooks that I found at garage sales and second hand stores.

With each book, it felt like I was cooking alongside different women from the past. I got to learn their skills and understand their challenges. I wanted to revive their forgotten recipes.

Over time I realized I was bringing history back to life in a way that works for modern kitchens.
